    Seems as if P01135809 is losing once again.

    A federal judge will not dismiss the classified documents charges against former President Donald Trump, who argued that he had the authority to take classified or sensitive documents with him after he left the White House.

    The short order from US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday leaves open the possibility that Trump could still use the argument to defend himself at trial.
    So the trial will proceed at this time.

    Ahh,
    Cannon, the Trump-humper is scared of the 11th Circuit.

    Good times if the carnival barker takes the stand to try and defend himself.

    This is extremely worrisome. It looks like she keeps dismissing these kinds of things without prejudice, inviting Trump to challenge it again after the jury has been selected and jeopardy attaches so that she can dismiss it later and then Smith can't appeal. But Smith looks like he's onto her schemes.

    Can someone please explain how the PRA protects Trump when the core of the law is that those records belong to the country, and NOT the president himself ?

    The PRA isn't a criminal statute.

    Another "win" for the law and society. My goodness, all his legal issues are leaving the stratosphere oxygen starved.

    I say put your country ahead of a malignant narcissist and don’t vote for someone who tried for two months to overturn an election he lost.
    Now he’s trying to collude with the Saudis to raise oil prices to help him in the coming elections, while screwing Americans yet again to serve himself.
    When the hell are you people going to learn?

    I'd say that the biased and corrupt Judge Cannon is doing everything possible to delay this trial until after the election.

    Remove her from this case and refer her to the federal office of Administrative Overisght for removal from the bench.

    The Espionage Act is however and that's what Agent Oranges has been charged under. The PRA is civil and highly unlikely related to Government Classified Documents, many SKIF level, (not personal records/notes/tapes of a POTUS leaving office) many relating to American national and international security. She's conflating and "appears" lost in the very deep weeds.

    Some anti-Trumpers think he is.
    You mean impeachment, right?

    She can only be impeached and removed by Congress.

    It would start with an action by the AO upon receipt of a complaint.

    You really don't know much about the law or the justice system despite all your comments on legal issues, do you ?

    I don't know why the legal authorities don't consult with all of the legal experts we have here at PF?

    They're mad because Trump isn't getting railroaded. They don't just want him convicted, they want him railroaded, too.

    Except that her running out the clock has pushed off the trial. American voters will not be shown any evidence/proof of wrong doing before the election. I can't imagine anyone who wanted Trump's trials to be put off unless they fully understand that he has much to hide. Trump certainly doesn't want the trials to happen. Very odd. If he is innocent of all, and its a witch hunt, why doesn't he want us all to know his truth?

    You're proving that the trials are 100% political.

    You and the Trumpers are mad because he's receiving due process. You people think the justice system should just take his word that he's not a felon.
